SIR - I am sick to death of seeing "artists' impressions" in your paper of proposed developments in the city centre, hardly any of which seem to come to fruition.

I have lived and worked in Bradford for more than 40 years and have a great affinity with the city centre.

But, for years now, all I have seen on my visits to the centre is a huge pile of rubble with one of the hoardings surrounding it advertising Bradford in Bloom.

It is, therefore, with deep regret that I have now arrived at the following conclusion: Bradford city centre is a dump.
